Case file #3: Kouda Kouji

"Dear Diary, is there any way to check if someone is a Disney's princess?"

Angel exists. He knew it. One appeared in front of him.

It all happened too fast, though.

One moment, he was having lunch with Shouji and Tokoyami, next thing he knew, the alarm almost blew his ears off. Chaos ensued immediately after. Students pushed against one another, completely disregarding others' safety. Thankfully, with his figure being naturally larger than others, Kouji wasn't hurt too badly.

Physically, at least.

The sound of alarm blaring through the hall, students screaming, telling each other to move, combined, triggered a panic attack. As a selective mute, Kouji never asked for anyone's help. Whenever he was having any of his episodes, an animal friend always came and was there for him, helping him to calm down.

But currently, with the chaos ensuing, even with his best effort through the panic attack, no one heeded his call.

Everything was becoming blurry.

And he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder.

"How many times do I need to tell you, Midoriya Izuku, that this is not a pet café!"

Upon entering, Chiyo could already see a headache incoming. U.A's Big Three, its pride, was sitting on the floor, cuddling a rabbit.

"Chiyo-sensei." Her assistant, the one she left in charge of the infirmary while she was gone, was brewing tea like usual. "A cup of tea?"

"Please." Chiyo asked before switching back to the main issue. "Why is there a rabbit here?"

Izuku answered as he offered Chiyo a cup of tea, who thanked him as she grabbed it. "Kouda-san asked me to watch over his rabbit. He's out with Tokoyami-san to buy groceries."

"Really?" Chiyo quirked an eyebrow. "I heard that boy is very protective and secretive of his rabbit."

"That's why I told him, 'I'll take care of any needs you have and show you a good time'."

"Those were your exact words?" Chiyo emphasized.

"Yeah."

"And you said those while looking at him?"

"Of course." Izuku smiled innocently. "I need to assure him Yuwai-chan will be well taken care of and she'll have fun here."

Chiyo had half a mind to chew the teacup and be done with it.

"Nod if you can hear my voice."

Watching the student with a rock-shaped head in front him nodded shakily. Izuku immediately focused his energy and passed it to him.

"I'm definitely going to get complained to for using my Quirk on another student, again." Izuku whispered in a soft tone but contrary to his word, Izuku was smiling. "But they should have better security if they really want to enforce that rule, right?"

Seeing the boy in front of him letting out a soft giggle as his breath became steadier, Izuku slowly reduced the intensity of his Quirk but still kept it going.

After 5 minutes are so, the deafening alarm stopped, allowing Kouji to calm down faster. Finally regaining a clear view, a set of green, unnaturally fluffy hair that reminded him of a forest, smiled at him. Despite the heavy eyebags that caught the attention of anyone looking at them, Kouji could see the kindness inside his eyes.

"Nod if you can see me clearly now." The angel in front of him whispered in a soft tone.

Following his request, Kouji nodded timidly. The smile somehow got kinder, hearing his response, making his heart skip a beat. The angel put his hand into his coat pocket and took out something. Or someone.

"Jerry here led me to you." A small, grey mouse sitting in the angel's palm squeaked a happy noise before running off.

"I'll put the cheese near your door." The angel smiled, looking towards where the little mouse was running off.

Kouji quickly pulled out his phone to type in his appreciation, but before he could do it, the angel continued to surprise him. "You can sign if you want to."

Although his hands were definitely shaking now, Kouji managed to sign. "Thank. You. For. Helping. Me."

"You're welcome." The angel nodded. "Sorry for using my Quirk without asking you first."

Kouji waved his hands frantically before signing again. "I. Should. Be. The. One. Who. Apologized."

"Kayama-sensei and Shuzenji-sensei will cover for me. Don't worry about it." The green angel chuckled, before he looked at his phone with widened eyes. "We should get back to our classes. Just find me at the nurse's office after school if you need anything else, okay?"

Without missing a beat, Izuku helped Kouji up on his feet and ran off towards where 1-C at, leaving the hero student standing there, wondering if he had an unknown heart disease.

"You know you really shouldn't feed rodents infesting the school, right?"

Chiyo said as she watched Izuku put some leftovers into a bento box.

"It's not the 14th century." The boy replied casually as he continued packing the food. "And you're not a plague doctor. That would make a cool Halloween's cosplay for us, though."

"I wear a costume every day, dearie." Chiyo replied, losing interest in reprimanding her student. "It's always Halloween."

Izuku only chuckled at her response. Before Izuku could wave goodbye to Chiyo, the door to the nurse's office opened and a woman with short, blue navy colored hair in a spacesuit peaked her head inside.

"Shuzenji-san, the principal is looking for you."

"Did he said what is it about?" Chiyo looked at her.

"Something about your old friend."

Letting out a sigh, Chiyo grabbed her cane and left the room after reminding Izuku to clean up the infirmary before he went home. After Chiyo had left, Anan turned towards Izuku.

"Going home now, Midoriya-kun?"

"After I feed the mice." Izuku shook the food bag with a smile, before leaving the room with Anan.

"I heard the mouses are helping Nezu with collecting information." Anan hummed as she watched Izuku carefully place the food in creaks and mouse holes. "Aizawa-senpai looked at me like a crazy person when I said that."

"I assume he hasn't watched 'Ratatoullie' yet?" Izuku chuckled as he knocked on the wall three times.

Anan only giggled in response as she watched Izuku work with affection in her eyes.

"The mouses are eating better than me." Anan sighed. "Cup noodles really aren't healthy for you."

"I can make breakfast for you every day, if you want to." Izuku smiled before it turned into a smirk. "There'll be a fee, though~."

Izuku wrote off the sight of Anan immediately put her helmet back on.

"Chiyo-sensei's merch is really expensive." Izuku commented.

A/N: Animals like him. He's a Disney's princess. Change my mind.

Kouda is hard to explore, though. Not a lot is known about him in the main story. But clearly, that didn't stop the nurse from stealing yet another heart.

Also, Izuku helping Nezu feeds his rat army is something more people need to know about.
